As we say goodbye to summer and hello to fall, we find ourselves quite busy, and I’m happy to share several updates with you. First, we recently published a new manuscript to bioRxiv, titled “Untangling Sequences: Behavior vs. External Causes,” which looks at how the same neural mechanism can process two different types of sequences: sequences where sensory inputs change due to external factors, and sequences where inputs change due to our own behavior (sensorimotor sequences).

I’m happy to share two exciting announcements with you this month. First, we recently completed our initial paper on sensorimotor integration, “Why Does the Neocortex Have Layers and Columns, A Theory of Learning the 3D Structure of the World.” This paper articulates a major insight that Jeff had last spring when he uncovered a missing ingredient about how the brain works.

I’m pleased to announce that we published two new papers this month. The first is an article that our co-founder Jeff Hawkins was invited to write for an IEEE Spectrum Special Report titled “Can we Copy the Brain?” The report, which focuses on worldwide efforts to understand the brain and use that knowledge to enable the next generation of computing, contains a number of articles by industry experts.

Last month, our Research team attended Cosyne 2017 (Computational and Systems Neuroscience), to present important new work on our current area of focus within HTM Theory: sensorimotor integration. This research looks at how the neocortex learns through movement. The team delivered a poster titled “3D Object Learning with Cortical Columns,” which outlined how cortical columns learn 3D sensorimotor models of the world. We believe this work is a significant advance in our evolving theory of how the brain works and expect

As we kick off a new year here at Numenta, we find ourselves as busy as ever and excited for what lies ahead. A year ago we were focused on publishing our first peer-reviewed paper. I’m pleased to share that as I write this newsletter, we have two peer-reviewed papers that are receiving an impressive number of views. Our first, Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, A Theory of Sequence memory in Neocortex, is the most viewed paper in the history of
